Tour Scotland Proverbs and Sayings

Dear Sandy, I have a friend that says when something is good or excellent the phrase is SPOT ON. He also says that people from Glasgow end their sentences most of the time with BY THE WAY. People from Belfast end their sentences with SO IT IS. Do you know of other phrases that are favorites around the UK ? Sincerely, Pamela J. Kerr-Enloe.
